With some additional logging I found out that my problem is most
probably not related to the mixed request parameters.
It is a problem of synchronizing the decisions of whether to recycle
Request/Response objects and whether to recycle the processor.

I'll send more details in another mail with topic 'Comet: Unsufficiently
synchronized recycling decisions'.

Regards,
Matthias
